Microsoft has a patch program to solve the shutdown problems on some
machines. Find it at their site, download it and install it according to
their instructions.
There is a category "Exit Windows" in Sounds. By default it has
no sound assigned to it, but if you highlight it, you can assign a sound.
"Logoff.wav" might be a good choice. If you don't have the
"Jungle" "Musica" "Robotz" and "Utopia" theme sets of sounds showing as
choices, you can add them from your Win98 CD using Start/Control
Panel/Add-Remove Programs/Windows Setup.

You mean that there is no "Exit Windows" .wav file?

Basically, this is an issue in the Windows registry. The best way to correct this
problem is by going to the Microsoft website and getting all necessary critical updates.

Regarding no "windows shutdown" in sounds: The shutdown sound is named EXIT WINDOWS
in Win 98

I currently have the same problem, but I did windows update and every thing else
but it still freezes on shut down.

We've had this problem for years and our only solution is to choose to reboot in
MS-DOS instead of shut down, then manually press the button on the tower to switch
it off.
Takes a couple of extra seconds, but works reliably and avoids having to use scandisk
on restart.

I'm having a similar problem except my computer stalls with a black screen. When
I hit reset and it goes back into start-up mode a big red box appears: NAV Auto-Protect
- Unable to determine the location of the configuration files...[Ok] at bottm left
allows me to close this window by typing "O". As the computer continues to restart
and reaches the desktop an Error Message Box appears: NAVAPW32 caused an invalid
page fault in module APWCMD.DLL at 0197:0041732b.
Once I close this box start-up completes and I can use the computer normally. However,
when I go to Start then Shut Down it freezes with a black screen. HELP!
